Note publique d'information : La 4e de couverture indique : "Although portrayed as a liberal law of co-existence
of and co-operation between states, international law has always been a welfarist
law, too. Emerging in eighteenth-century Europe, it soon won favour globally. Not
only did it minister to the interests of states and their concern for stability, but
it was also an interventionist law designed to ensure the happiness and well-being
of peoples. Hence international law initially served as a secularised eschatological
model, replacing the role of religion in ensuring the proper ordering of mankind,
which was held to be both one and divided. That initial vision still drives our post-Cold
War globalised world. Contemporary international law is neither a strictly welfarist
law nor a strictly liberal law, but is in fact a liberal-welfarist law. In the conjunction
of these two purposes lies one of the keys to its meaning and a partial explanation
for its continuing ambivalence."
